Got news today - Porsche will be changing the gearbox! hurray!!!

I picked the car up to use until it arrives and considering the work undertaken and the procrastination about what to do about it, it drives bloody awfully!!

Fingers crossed this brings it back into line.

Thanks for the support previously guys - it does help

About time they owned up to it.

They already changed the clutch, my service manager definately said that my constant pressure on Porsche Holland had a big impact on the decision.

The selection is definately worse than when i gave it to them, gawd knows what has caused that. The vibration through the car when releasing the clutch is also much worse and i would have thought that was a flywheel issue (also changed).

Well they certainly know me now, so if its not top when the box is changed they will get it back- its hard though as its depreciating and i would quite like to drive it!

I wonder what the cost is so far to them as it has had:-

Clutch

Release bearing

Flywheel

Clutch hydraulics

Now gearbox

Plus labour!!!

Gotta love that warranty :D

Matt, out of interest did you buy a LHD or RHD?

LHD UK import. 90% of my life is spent in the South of France so i get the benefit of UK park anywhere plates :twisted:
but import to France when i am done with it. Prices in the South of France are not relative to real values. Its not worth a business but it offsets some of the hit.

I got a parking ticket in Italy - failed to pay and had a registered letter a year later with threat of bailiffs.... they have ways to get your details now. :(

Italy is a different fish. Currently in Cannes it is cheaper to get a ticket than use a car park for 3 hours. Nobody tows after 5pm.............
